This whole Eritrea situation totally changes everything. While a 1st place finish is out of our hands, we are surely in the drivers seat when it comes to finishing as one of the best 2nd place teams.

Mentioned earlier. We still need to win every game going forward.

Odunayaw:
Explain to us o

Probability is low but can happen

For this to happen:

1. Nigeria must win all 4 remaining games. Any slip-up and this theory will not hold.
2. It does not look like FIFA will deduct points from South Africa, so we must be 2nd on the table with a max of 19 points.
3. Eritrea pulled out of the World Cup qualifiers, meaning there is a group with 5 teams.
4. Nigeria will be in the conversation for 2nd place if we beat Rwanda and SA.
5. In determining the top 4 second-placed teams fairly, points recorded against the last teams in the group may be cancelled due to the imbalance caused by the 5-team group.
6. Zimbabwe must sit in last place in our group so that the points deducted from Nigeria are only 2 compared with most second-place teams that would have recorded 3, 4, or 6 points against their last-place group opponents.
7. Coupled with hopefully an imperfect campaign from the 2nd place teams in the remaining matches, SE could have a chance to finish among the top 4 second-placed teams for the playoffs.

But again, Nigeria must win all remaining and have a perfect record going forward for the points above to materialize.

The goal Nigeria conceded in the 90th min vs. Zimbabwe could be the reason Nigeria qualifies for the World Cup.

Only someone with a deep mind will understand this

So how come Benin can beat Zimbabwe and Nigeria cannot..

This CHAN team e get as e be..

Seems Senegal & Morocco are in top 20 fifa rankings

They have left Africa behind.

How does CIV lose to New Zealand..

elyte89:
That’s one thing I like about chelles team,we create enuf chances to bury a match unlike before when it’s only osimhen or lookman dt will labour so hard to grind out dt result..what chelle needs to do now is to work very well on d defence,and we re good to go

He says regularly that his philosophy will be adapted to suit the team.

I believe we should adopt the team press for about 70 minutes or so, then switch to ultra-defending with counterattack strategy as we did with Peseiro's AFCON team.

how are these u-20 guys selected even

This news is already a scam from the beginning of time.

Na pepper we dey sell

Nigeria will not qualify for the 2026 world cup. It is impossible not mathematically at least. So many things need to go right to stand a remote chance.

Clear Nigerian/British accent is way superior to South African accent.

It is a collective attitude problem. Pound for pound are Rwanda player better than the Nigerian players?
Nigeria was in the lead, on the counter decision making was an issue when they had chances to make it 2-0. Players wanted to go for glory instead of a simple cross. Then set pieces, no one in defense even bothers to track the ball.

Both are correct in different views. We just need to understand better what they mean and trying to address. Not one over the other.

Unless I’m missing something, I’m not sure what’s wrong with the tweet…

You are lost lol.

The ball is just bouncing off our players. No ball control

Plan your cities properly. Does every city have a master plan. Irresponsible governments.

She is learning Yoruba, that is the test right there..

They can put all kind of laws in place. How about the law that will promote a green city. Starts with allocating 30% of all plots for landscaping..

mamaafrik:
Engineering wise the Rail track should be built not at the middle of the road but at either of the sides.
Accident from Automobiles or that of train will be very fatal if the track is laid at the middle.

There would be a median and it would be elevated.

"I am going to the United States.."

"Which one"

"..of Nigeria"

ChrisKels:
I was one of those who called for Ndidi and Onyedika to be partnered by in all honesty, I was disappointed with the outcome. They seemed not to have defined roles. Who was the DM and who was the CM in that match? There was no synergy between the two

You can't play midfielders with no ball skills and expect magic. Ghana and Mali's midfielders are miles ahead of ours.

ekehopp2:
Looks like

------------------Nwabali
--------Ajayi-Omeruo-Awaziem---------
Osayi-------------------------------------Collins
---------------------Nwadike
---------------------Ndidi
Iwobi-------------------------------------Simon
--------------------Iheancho

I think it's more like

------------------Nwabali
--------Ajayi-Omeruo-Awaziem---------
Osayi-------------------------------------Collins
----------------Ndidi----Nwadike
-----------------------Iwobi-
--------Iheancho---------------Simon

joelsteron:
Napoli making me believe super Eagles have serious and crazy Midfield problem.

Running into spaces, one-touch football, passing precision are what our midfielders are lacking.

Wingers do not release the ball quickly enough.

Cape verde vs South Africa is like a boxing match. Both teams take turns in pressing each other.
If you want to see beautiful football with no end product this is the game for you.
Nigeria should comfortably dispatch any of the teams.

DrKlever:
It would take extreme luck for Angola to win this match. I'm so relaxed!

Whoever scores first will win this game.

Mujtahida:
I'm not good with predictions and using my guts to tell the outcome of a match.

But I can tell if SE will win a match within the context of our play. As in from the way we play, I can tell if we will win or not. Like from the blast of the whistle and the way we hustled every ball in the match against Cameroun I knew we'd win. Even when Semi's goal was canceled, I told the guy I was watching the match with, that naija will still score.

And my logic is simple: if we play well, we win. Of course sometimes we play well and lose and sometimes we play badly and win but generally the best play wins

Yeah, usually from the first 10-15mins of a game you can tell who the better team is baring any twists and turns in the game.

Curtisaxel10:
Please let Peseiro change his formation. The 4-3-3 is much more balanced and productive in terms of chances created.

If he must go with three at the back, let him play 3-5-2 with Iwobi at AM and Osimhen and a strike partner in front. The 3-4-3 leaves a wide gaping hole in the center of our midfield which Guinea Bissau exploited at the beginning of the last match to dominate possession.

We cannot afford to abandon possession to a team that actually knows what to do with the ball. Ire o!

It is easier to defend with 5-4-1 than with 5-3-2

yinkeys:
Brother have you properly checked this thing
Sure this doesn’t look like Morocco in the Semifinals

We would play Morocco or Cape Verde in the semifinals

I have a feeling Cape Verde will edge Morocco, maybe Pks, but still early talk.

Morocco must now win in order for Ivory Coast to go through.

Four more games to go.

Nigeria vs Cameroon
Nigeria vs Angola
Nigeria vs Cape Verde
Nigeria vs Senegal
